He spoke to the girls, and in consequence of what they said took the prisoner into custody, end found the book upon him. Mr Lewis having addressed the magistrate on the pri soner's behalf, Mr Tyrwhitt said the case vs as clearly proved against the prisoner, and his conduct was first that of corrupting girls and then making wretched women of them. It was through such persons as the prisoner that respectable females were prevented from taking fresh air in the parks. He should commit the prisoner for three months with hard labour. A second charge was then preferred against the prisoner by a young girl named Agnes Burns, in service at High street, Notting-hill, and the case being clearly proved against the prisoner, Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was the duty of a magistrate, when these cases were proved, to inflict the full punishment, and he should, therefore, commit the pri soner for a second term of three months, with hard labour. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 18G4 MARIUTS---TLis Day, MAIA-LANE. There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. Holders, generally speaking, were not disposed to sell except at fully previous rates; but where sales were pressed is per quarter less money was accepted. The spring corn trade ruled firm, at full currencies. Flour moved off slowly, at late rates. At New York, the amount of business doing in produce for export is very moderate.

Fresh up to our market today the arrival of English wheat Vas small, both from Essex and Kent, but the quality of the prouce on the stands was good. Compared with Monday last there was much less activity in the trade, and the market, was entirely devoid of excitement, Factors however held both red and white samples at that days ad vance in the quotations, tut millers, generally speaking, were indisposed to operate except at is per quarter more money. At the close of the market, the bulk of the supply had been disposed of at, in some instances, a decline of is per quarter, but chiefly at last Monday's currency.

There was a lull average supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day as to number, tut its general quality was infe rior, sales consequently progressed slowly at about previous currenzies. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts was moderate, and there was a falling off in the con• dition of most breeds. The attendance of butchers was rather limited, and the beef trade was in a sluggish state at about last week's currency. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 4s 10cl to 5s per Blbs. The supply from Scot land was tolerably good, and in prime condition. From Ireland, however, the receipts were again limited. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,60 J Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from Lincoln. shire, 500 shorthorns; from other parts of England, chiefly Herefordshire, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 328 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. We were fairly supplied with sheep. All breeds changed hands slowly, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per Blbs. The best Downs, however, produced 55 2d per Blbs. The supply of lambs was tolerably good, and the lamb trade was inactive at late rates—viz., from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per Blbs. Calves a ere in fair average supply and moderate request on former terms. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). IN RE LENSBURG.-JUDGMENT. This bankrupt was described of Drury Lane, &c, cornice po l o man ufacturer, and applied a short t me since to pass his examination, but the accounts were very unsatisfactory, and Mr J. Ii art, of the firm of Hart Brothers and Hayles, had been appointed to examine and report thereon, His Honour now said that tha bankrupt admitted that the accounts were inaccurate and erroneous, and his excuse was that he placed his confidence in a man of the name of Smith who had betrayed his confidence and absconded. Smith was a man of a great many aliases—Ball, Eye, and Chappin. It appeared to him (his Hon ,, ur) that the bankrupt had not sufficiently excused himself, for he appeared to be a shrewd and intelligent man, and not exercised sufficient caution fn trusting Smith, who had been convicted of embezzlement and suffered twelvemonths' imprisonment, and bankrupt employed him without a character. His Honour held that the default was from the bankrupt's own culpable negligence in employing Smith without a character, and refused to pies the examination, which was adjourned sow die, but with protection to give the bankrupt an opportunity of ap pealing if so advised. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, WARLBOROUGH STREET. A " GENTLEMAN" SENT TO HARD LABOUR FOR DIS GRACEFUL CONDUCT IN KENSINGTON GABDENS.-Mr Frederick Roundel, gentleman, of the Warwick Arms Hotel, Prince's• square, Bayswater, was charged before Mr Tyr whitt with exposing an obscene book containing indecent representations •to the view of the complainant, Emily Louisa Maine, a nursemaid, fourteen years of age, while in Kensington Gardens. Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Emily Louisa Main said she was a nursemaid at Bays water, and on Saturday evening, while in Kensington gardens with another nursemaid, each of them having children with them, the prisoner came and sat on the seat they were sitting on, and showed them a book with pictures, He then shut up the book, and asked her to meet him at half.past 9 the same night, and go with him to a house, where he would give her half-a-crown. As she was going away the park -keeper spoke to her, and asked her what the prisoner had been showing her, and she told him. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the girl said she had often seen the prisoner about Wore, but he had never spoken to her till then. TALLOW.

It struck him on the head, and he said, if it had not been for the leather of his hat, he should have been killed. Sweeney called Margaret Driscoll in his defence, and she swore that Butler hit the prisoner on the head with his staff, and said the Irish should not get the better of him. In answer to P,ir. Partridge, the witness said she would not swear stones were not thrown by her countrymen. Mrs Stafford called a very large Irish woman named Catherine Santry, who kissed the book several times, and so hastily as to produce great laughter in court, She said t•be lived in the same house as the woman Stafford, who did nothing at all.

Unfortunately in such cases as these erysipelas might set in. The prisoner must be remanded for a week. Bail would be accepted, the pri soner Limself iu LlO, and two earetiec in £5O each. FESTIVITIES AT COWES.—On the marriage of the Pi ince and Princess of Wales the plot of land known as the Green, and which was Then in the market for sale, was purchased by Mr G. R. Stephenson, C.E., for presenta'ien to the town as a place of recreation for the inhabitants. Some time has been occupied in building a new sea-wall, returning and draining the Green, and erect ing a very handsome drinking fountain and stand for the band, The whole expense of these improvements, amount ing to nearly £3,000, has been liberally defrayed by Mr. Stephenson. On the occasion of the opening the townspeople made a general holiday—shops were shut up, and flags innu merable flying in every direction. The schools and various societies of the town formed in procession, and at 2 o'clock, headed by the bands, proceeded to the Green with their ban ners. A salute having been fired from the yacht Tyne was the signal for hoisting the royal standard, which soon floated from the flag•stafl in the middle of the Green—the bands then struck up the National Anthem, in which the people joined heartily, and the Green was formally declared o, en by the town council. The poor of the town were provided by Mr Stephenson with a substantial dinner, and the school children, 1,400 in number, were_regaled with tea, cake, &c. Then came the tradesmen's dinner, followed by an open air concert by 400 voices, selected from the different choirs in the island, Southampton, and Winchester. A handsome orchestra was erected, and the ringers, having been provided with a cold collation under the marquee belonging to the Agricultural Society, took their places on the orchestra, and sang through a variety of natiunal part songs, &c., to the manliest delight of nearly 20,000 people. Special steamers and trains brought their thousands from Ports mouth, Southampton, Ryde. Newport, and other places.

THE ROYAL WILTSHIRE LIFEBOAT.—A grand demonstration took place at Marlborough a few days ago on the occasion of the naming and presentation of the "Royal Wiltshire" lifeboat, the cost of which had been collected in the county by Captain N. Reed, R.N., of Marlborough. Early in the morning the town mani fested great interest in the humane undertaking; anti when the lifeboat mounted on its transporting carriage, ve3s drawn through the town by a team of fine horses, gaily decorated, thousands of people followed the procession, hich was headed by a band of music. Captain Reed, R.N., on behalf of the county of Wiltshire, presented the boat to the National Lifeboat Institution. He said it was a proud day for him to assist in presenting the society with so splendid a lifeboat on behalf of the county of Wiltshire ; and he felt assured that every one present wished the life boat "God Speed." Richard Lewis. Esq., Secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution, then acknowledged the lifeboat in an appropriate speech. He said that he felt assured the crew of the liceboat at Dover would always dis tinguish themselves in the Royal Witshire when the hour of need came. (Hear, hear.) He referred to the remark able fact that last winter the neighbouring lifeboat at Rams. gate, in conjunction with a steamtug, had saved 120 per sons from two shipwrecks on the Goodwin Sands, during an awful midnight storm. The lifeboats of the institution rescue on an average between 400 and 500 persons every year; and alrogeth_r, since the establishment of the society, nearly 14,000 shipwrecked sailors hal been rescued through its instrumentality. (Cheers.) He requested them to imagine such an army proceeding through their principal street, and then to conceive the number of persons connected with these 14,000 men, and they would probably find that 40,000 persons had been saved from being widows and orphans. The Rev. T. W. Dowding then pronounced, in suitable and impressive terms, a benediction on the lifeboat. Mrs Kean, Capt, Reed's daughter, in the unavoidable absence of the Marchioness of Ailesbury, proceeded, amidst hearty acclamation of the people, to name the boat the Royal Wilt shire. The lifeboat was afterwards sent by rail to Dover.

Royal Botanic Society of London, There was a magnificent exhibition at the society's gar dens, in the Regent's-park, on Saturday. The fruits, especially the grapes, pines, and peaches, might, from their size and richness, have been gathered in a garden that had been presided over by Pomona herself. There was one pine amongst those exhibited that weighed over ten pounds, and there were three bunches of grapes more than ten pounds each. These fruits did, indeed, look magnificent, but we must add that they were very tantalising alto. The exotic orchids were very beautiful, and so were the gera niums. The ambition of the growers of geraniums appears now to be to exhibit the largest plant in the smallest pot. Among the company preiient were the Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Bishop of Oxford, Marquis of Bristol, Earl of Horne, Earl of St. German's and Countess of St. Ger man's, Lord Chesham, Lord Yarborough, Lord A.

In speaking of the condition and prospects of the volunteers, the gallant Colonel bare high testimony to their efficiency, and said he considered their present strength to be but the nucleus of what would be required in times of war, The number at present enrolled was 163,003, of whom about 130,000 or 140,000 were efficient, Judging by the number who had passed through drill, and -etired from the force, he calculated that in an emergency the volunteers would very rapidly increase to 200,000. Colonel 111`Murdo made a passing allusion to another body of volunteers, the yeomanry, whom he said he should like to make more of soldiers than they now are." Shelled out at Charleston, On the 21st of August, at half-past 1 a,m,, I was lying on my bed in the Charleston Hotel, unable to sleep from the excessive heat, and listening to the monotonous sound of cannonade kept up on the enemy's position from the batte ries on James Island. Restless and weary of the night, I had lighted a candle in defiance of mosquitos, and sought to pass away the time with a volume of "Les Miserables." It happened to be the one containing the account of the cattle of Waterloo ; and while deeply interested in the ci scription of the rushing squadrons of cuirassiers, I was startled by a noise that, from connection with my reading, resembled the whirr of a phantom brigade of cavalry gallop ing in mid-air. My first feeling was that of utter astonish ment; but a crash, succeeded by a deafening explosion in the very street in which my apartment was situate, brought me with a bound into the centre of the room. Looking from the window, I saw smoke and fire issuing from a house in which were stored the drugs of the medical purveyor. A watchman was running frantically down the street, and when he reached the corner just below me, commenced striking with his staff against the kerb ; a signal of alarm practised among the Charleston police. At first I thought a meteor had fallen ; but another awtul rush and whirr right over the hotel, and another explosion beyond, settled any doubts I might have had—the city was shelled. People are not generally given to laugh ing under such circumstances, but I will defy any one who witnessed what I witnessed on leaving my room, not to have given way to mirth in moderation. The hotel was crowded with speculators who had been attracted to the city by the sale of some blockade cargoes, and the corridors were filled with these terrified gentlemen rushing about in the scantiest of costumes and the wildest alarm. One perspiring individual of portly dimensions was trotting too and fro with one boot on and other in his hand, and this was nearly all the dress he could boast ot. In his excitement and terror ho had forgotten the number of his room, from which he had hastened at the first alarm, and his distress was ludi crous to behold. Another, in a sirni-state of nudity with a portion of his garments on his arm, barked the shins of every one in his way in his efforts to dreg an enormous trunk to the staircase. On reaching the hall I found a motley crowd, some ot whom with the big e est words were cursing the Federal commanders. Whirr I came another shell over the roof, and down on their faces went every man of them into tobacco-juice and cigar ends and clattering among the spitoons. I need not say that this is a class of men from whom the Confederacy hopes nothing; on the contrary, by their extortion, practised on a suffering people, they have made themselves execrat: d. if a shell could have fallen in their midst and exterminated the whole race of hucksters, it wend have been of great benefit to the South. The population was now aroused, the streets filled with womt n ana children making their way to the upper part of the city, where they would find comparative Emery. Tho volunteer fire brigade brought outtheir engines, and parties of the citizen reserves were organised rapidly and quietly, to be in readiness to give assistance where required. The first engine that reached the house struck by the first shell was one belonging to a negro company, and at it they went with a will, subduing the fire in a marvellously short time. At every successive whirr above them the niggers shouted quaint invectives against "cussed bobotitionists," scatter ing for shelter until the danger was past. Through the streets I went, and down to the Battery promenade, meet ing on my way sick and bed-ridden people carried from their homes on mattresses,and mothers with infants in their arms running they knew not whither. Reaching the promenade, I cast my eyes towards the Federal position, and presently beyond James Island, across the marsh that separates it from Morris Island, came a flash, then a dull report, and, after an interval of some seconds, a frightful rushing sound above me told me the path the shell had taken ; its flight must have been fire miles I—Cornhill Magazine. THE FEDERAL REPULSE AT PETERSBURG.—The .New York Herald publishes a letter from its army correspondent describing the repulse of the Federals as fol lows :—" Gen, Pierce commanded the left of the front line of attack, and Major Hooper, of the 15th Massachusetts, the right. Their troops were formed in two heavy lines. The right of the line was formed under a crest, which protected it from the fire from the rebel breastworks they were going to assault, near the line of the City Point and Fredericks burg Railroad ; but the left was exposed to a most murder ous fire the moment it was in sight. The line advanced. and the soldiers rushed over a fence along the road with which the breastwork was nearly parallel ; they rushed forward gallantly, but could not withstand the deadly fire of mus ketry, grape, and canister that was poured upon them from that stronghold of the enemy. On the right of the line our men reached to within about 75 yards of the earthworks, and on the left to within about 200. But the fatal fire was too much for even such gallant fellows, many of whom fell never to rise again. The lines were accordingly compelled to fall back a short distance to the point from which they advanced, leaving the dead and some of the wounded in the possession of the enemy. Another attack was ordered to take place at another point, for the purpose, if possible, of cutting through the rebel lines. This was a regular storm ing party, composed of several brigades formed in columns of regiments. The troops moved forward in two columns, Col. Madell's brigade leading the advance of one column, and Col. Champhn's the other. Shortly after 4 p.m. these imposing columns were moved forward, and in a moment they were moving in splendid force towards a strong rebel I:ne of breastworks strongly defended by infantry and artil lery. These immediately opened a terrific,fire, and the heads of colums were lost in clouds of smoke—lost in the very jaws of death. The battery was so close, the fire so strong as well as sudden, and the men fell so fast, that tkose in front were soon cut down or scattered, end others, instinc tively seeking the shelter whict some neighbouring build ings affurdecl, broke from the column, throwing them into considerable confusion. The troops were then wisely with drawn, as a further sacrifice of human life, under these cir• cumstances would bo criminal." INNS OF COURT.—Tue Benchers of the Inas of Court in Dec'mber, 1863, issued new regulations to students qualifying for the bar, and among others insti tuted exhibitions to be competed for by students who had attended the lectures and classes of the several readers. The Council of Legal Education, to whom is intrusted the duty of superintending the instruction of students for the bar, have directed that the examinations for exhiuitions on the subject of the lectures delivered and classes held by the several readers shall be commenced this day, July 4, at Lincoln's-inn-hail. The exhibitions are of the value of 30 guineas each, to be held for a period of two years, 10 be granted to the most proficient student in Constitutional Law and Legal History, and to the most proficient student in Jurisprudence, Civil, and International Law, and also to the students of the advanced classes in Equity, on Real Property Law, and on the Common Law. J unior Exhibi tions, to continue for a like period of twq years (but to merge on taking a superior exhibition), of the value of 20 guineas per annum, will be awarded to the most proficient students, duly qualified, who have entered for the elemen tary examinations on the subjects of Equity, Real Property, Scc., and the Common Law. Mr Thomas Collett Sanders has been appointed examiner in Constitutional Law and Legal History, to be held this morning, the 4th of July, from 9.30 to 12.30, and he will also examine in the afternoon from 1.30 to 4.30 on Jurisprudence, Civil, and International Lau". On Tuesday morning, July 5, Mr. J. R. Kenyon, Q.C., will examine in Equity from 9.50 to 12,30; and in the afternoon of that day, from 1,30 to 4.30, Mr. James Charles Mathew will examine on the Common Law. On Wednesday morning, the 6th of July, Mr John Sharper, Q.C., will examine from 9.30 to 12.30 on the Law of Real Property, &c., and in the afternoon of that day—viz., from 1,30 to 4.30 a general paper of questions will be issued to the students embracing all the subjects on the foregoing heads. Students attending the lectures of any of the readers are at liberty to attend the several examinations, and all members of the Inns of Court who have obtained written orders of admission from a beneher. or from one of the readers, are also to be admitted to the oral examina tions. THE FUNNY PARSON (says that absurdly named correspondent of the Court Chronicle, Mr Surley Hardbake) is usually a yoetng man just in orders—too young in orders, indeed, to be orderi;'. A smooth chubby-cheeked fellow, with " a shining morning l 'ece " and a plentiful head of hair. Ho is a great favourite with se;ung ladies who take a delight in his being " so unlike a parson," as they phrase it, and who lie in wait for his doing somethist; absolutely uncanonical and improper. He is a great man at a piC-nic— can sing a comic song if needed, and when quite away fre;.na his " potent, grave, and reverend seniors," he can imitate the noises of animals to perfection, smokes furtive pipes at night, despises his white tie, and, when he is able, obscures it under a lay neckerchief. He indulges in a wide awake hat, and reads novels when he should devote himself to the Fathers. Indeed, as my friend Jones says, he doesn't care much for the " Papas" or the Fathers either, his chief care is the daughters. And certainly he is a very amusing man for a select tea party of ladies who are pretty enough to interest, and not old enough to check his unclerical mirth. He is a very sharp fellow in his way, is an exceedinglY agreeable man for a companion in a walking tour, h as one or two smart and not very decent college stories, ove r which he chuckles with an enjoyable sense of a eir impropriety. He is a loud talker, a loud laugher, despiser of church authority and Convoc a tionP, a con temner of bishops, a sneerer at rubrics and saints' days— altogether a man out of his element , one who possibly might have feruggled into notice at the Bar, but to whose peculiar abilities the Church is a wet blanket, which he is constantly except z making efforts to throw awry Of course he usu a lly b e l ongs yit to be h to the Low or the Broad churchpaarsthy.visHitiengis, too l t sympathi se e visitin g of h wi t th e hard work and parish pic.nic i, g , portion of his flock, where there are champagne corks t o be drawn and j oke s to be perpetr at e d, and delights in no thi ng E 0 m uch as that reverend jester.

Constantinople letters and journals to the 22d June have reached us. The principal intelligence is contained in the subjoined extract from the Levant Herald :—" Something like a formal settle ment of the Danubian difficulty has at length been effected. On Sunday (the 19th), the Marquis de Moustier, Baron Prokesch-Osten, Count Brassier de St. Simon, A bro Effaidi, of the Minister of Foreign Affedrs, and M. Negri, Prince Coaxes agent in Constantinople, met Sir H. Bulwer at the British Embassy to consider the details of the com promise which had been agreed to in principle between the Porte and the Hospodar; The latter has persistently striven during his visit to have his late measures not merely condoned but legalised, but neither the Porte nor a majority of the foreign Ministers could extend their formal sanction to acts which violate a solemn convention. However, making a virtue of necessity they were willing—whilst protesting against the illegality of the prince's acts—to accept accomplished facts so far as that could be decently and wisely done. It was therefore agreed in substance on Sunday, that the constitution imposed by the Paris Conference of 1858 shall be replaced by a new one more directly recognising the autonomic rights of the Princia palities, but at the same time modifying the Hoe pode!'s late electoral law, and superadding the check of a Senate, the majority of whose members shall be elected by the people. A short protecol of this understanding was drawn up, and will be submitted to the Porte and the foreign representa tives this week far their formal sanction. In the meantime, the Commission appointed by the Con ference to deal practically with the monastic pro perties is nearly completed. Mr. Dalyell, H.M. Consul at Jassy, has been named the British member; M. Tissot, French Consul at Jassy, will represent M. de Moustier; and Count Beccio di Bayo, recently Italian Consul at Rome, will be the Italian nominee. The Austrian and Russian members have also been appointed, but as yet we are unaware of their names." The following are a few items of general news —" The Turkish Government is paying special attention of late to the remount of the cavalry artillery. Numbers of horses have already arrived from different quarters, where they have been care• fully selected; and 8,000 Russian horses are ex pected in the course of a few days from Odessa to complete the equipment of these two important branches of the service.—On the 17th a fire broke out in the quarter of E t ri-Capon at Stam boul, and fifty houses were burned to the ground.—At a recent meeting of the lonians re siding in Constantinople an address was drawn up, which was presented yesterday to Sir Henry Bulwer at the English Embassy by a deputation from that community. The persons selected, MM. Vagliano, loglessi, Antiopa, and Valso machi, were naturally well received by the Am. bassador. The address, after an allusion to re cent changes, expressed the gratitude which the lonian body feel towards the Ambassador and the Consular authorities for the care with which the personal and commercial interests of the lonians had always been vigilantly guarded. His Excellency, in reply, expressed his gratification at receiving the address,—The Messageries riales, Austrian Lloyds, and Russian Steam Com• panies having refused to charter any of their ships for the transport of the Circassians, the Porte is seeking vessels for this purpose in Eng• land, and has already engaged the Plata, a large and very roomy steamer, which is expected during the coming week, with the biscuits sent from Malta by her Majesty's Govern ment. In the meantime the exodus continues.-- On the 18th Riza Effendi, the Imperial commis sioner at Samsoun, left that place for Trebizond grain to superintend the immigration going sozens from from that port. At the date of the last to ad ar v r i i c v e e s::; e 81213 at were still nearly 60,000 destitute C fo i r r e c o a mt s .he Samsoun, and numbers continued E co ff t e to n n di, se t e h d e . are glad io find that news which uted in several Yarns and Silistria promises w ell co rrespondent harvest in those districts. from Mostar on the 10th that 500 n o:e v s d o e t year in this province Imperial Commissioner, but trifling as it was, the districts of Herzegovina :: a di n i d ast there is everyr The was o d u is a tri v b s u ry tio s n sia o l f l ea w so r n ite to s w ith proper r b e e o l ; e l v t o w , as promising , encouragement, the cultivation of cotto n prove would a great element of prosperity in this poor section of the empire.—We regret to learn b y a communication f rom E s kizara, Bulgaria, that the ripening harvest in that district has been damaged by storms of hail and rain, and consequent inundations. The hailstorms did great mischief, many of the stones, we are assured, being as large as eggs, Eski-zara is one of the principle centres of trade in otto of roses, and the rosaries have ans. tallied considerable iojury." " We have reason to know," says the Nall" "that the commission on the affair of the Isthmus of Suez has terminated its labours, and that M. Thouvenol recently had an interview with the Emperor cn the subject. We understand that his Majesty has signed the decision come to by the commission, and according to which the Viceroy of Egypt will have to pay over to the company, by way of indemnity for the lands given up and for the fresh-water canal, a sum of St millions." The Moniteur publishes a decree confirming three nominations to the Legion of Honour in. the Mexican expe dition army provisionally conferred by the French Com mander-in-Chief in that country. The Madrid journals announce that the Govern ment has accepted the res i gnation of M. Sala= y Mazarredo.
